Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

This is one of those recipes that is totally customizable.
So I'll give you the general idea, and you take it and run!

Onion Powder
Garlic
Basil
Pepperoni
2 cups Italian Blend Shredded Cheese
15 oz Refridgerated Biscuits (the kind in the tube), quartered
16 oz(+or -) Tomato Sauce (Pizza Sauce, Spaghetti Sauce,etc)

  • Mix together sauce, spices, "toppings", 1 cup cheese.
  • Add the quartered biscuits and stir to coat.
  • Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and top with remaining cheese.
  • Cook at 350 for about 30-45 minutes. (If the cheese starts to brown, cover with foil, or just add it at the end for the last 10 minutes)

We tend to use pepperoni as our "topping", but you could do mushrooms, olives, ground sausage/beef, green peppers, whatever your family likes!

Rainbow Jell-O


3 packages ( 3 ounces each) cherry gelatin

3 packets (.25 ounces each) unflavored gelatin, divided

1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain yogurt

1-1/4 cups white grape juice



For red layers: Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add cherry gelatin and 1 packet unflavored gelatin; stir until dissolved. Remove from stove.

For pink layer: Transfer 2/3 cup red gelatin mixture to a bowl and whisk in yogurt.

For white layer: Pour grape juice into a bowl. Sprinkle on remaining unflavored gelatin and let stand 5 minutes. Microwave on high about 1 minute, until gelatin has dissolved.

To assemble: pour 2/3 cup of red mixture into an 8-inch square baking pan. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes. Top with half of pink and white mixtures, refrigerating for 15 minutes after each addition. Repeat process with remaining gelatin, ending with red. Refrigerate until completely set, about 2 hours or overnight.

*Dip bottom of the pan in hot water to loosen. Invert onto a cutting board and slice into cubes.*
